Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones gave an interesting answer about using the draft picks acquired in the Micah Parsons trade. While speaking to reporters after the Cowboys’ 31-14 loss to the Chicago Bears, Jones was asked if he would use the picks to make a move now to improve the team.

“Well, of course, to use that capital, you’ve got to have the opportunity to use it,” Jerry Jones said, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. “And frankly, no matter what I had seen in these first three ball games, if I had the opportunity to really do some good with those picks, I would do it. And we’ve got them, and that’s one of the advantages for, if you will, making the trade.”

Jones was then asked if there was more urgency now. “Well, not necessarily. That implies that being more urgent, I can create an opportunity to use them,” he replied. “That usually doesn’t work that way at all. You’ve got to have something that comes your way that’s really special. And if you’ve got the currency to do it, which in this case it would be draft picks, we’ll do it.”
